it was probably something dumb like whatever IP I had landed on was flagged for bad actor use, I jumped over to the UK and it's fine now

I literally puked trying to use the mobile site.

D for effort, and fuck you for execution.

Glad to hear they're working as intended.

I tried the dark mobile theme on my phone and I guess I'm now locked into it forever as it has no options to change it that I can see, but it also reveals why Ye Olde Countrie never had a dark theme, because some of the emotes look fucking ass on a dark background.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

although all of my prior contributions work flawlessly on both

Pretty sure you can change theme through your profile as well.  I had to do that for one of the themes when I was checking them out.

It's in your user settings: https://thebire.com/forum/usercp.php?action=options

It's at the end under Other Options -> Board Style.

Likes now display on all the Mobile Tests. Although the formatting/location may be slightly off because I didn't remeasure the margins or anything.

Benji, steal something actually useful from ree

Figured out the issue, the iframe code has a missing attribute for the referrer policy,

[CODE=html]<iframe ...... referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"></iframe>[/CODE]

The [ICODE]referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"[/ICODE] section is missing from the current iframes being generated by the forum and that is causing most embeds to not work. Maybe someone can tag an admin who can implement this fix, should be quite simple to do.

You can verify this works by pasting the following code for two test embeds (thanks [USER=45923]FerrisBueller[/USER]) anywhere in the forum using the browser's Inspect tool. The only difference between the 2 is the attribute and only the later one will work.

[CODE=html]<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YEESfv-11ng"></iframe>

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YEESfv-11ng" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin"></iframe>[/CODE]

I edited that for the auto-embed where it automatically embeds when you post the URL. I haven't yet found where the video tags are but only a few people use those for YouTube anyway.

Making a list to try and commit myself to doing some of this:
1. Updating forum to newest version, will be a few minutes of downtime some night just to make sure this doesn't break. (Also a reminder to myself to look up the one thing I need to change for the likes beforehand instead of trying to track it down after the fact.) It's just a couple minor security fixes and continuing fixes for php backend stuff, the latter is good because of the way php throws up silent errors whenever something is slightly off.
2. Start fussing with the mobile test themes in order to move a couple towards becoming "standard" themes. I won't bore you with the elaborate thought put into this transition but the current default will change to "Legacy" at some point down the road rather than continue to wait on MyBB. 
3. Fix the hide tags in some way, if only because I don't like that it's broken.
4. Look into the thread tag thing. It's not like we have all that many threads, there's only five pages on the main forum, but this would make it a little bit quicker to find older threads. I scrolled right past the Great Moments thread looking for it, if it had been tagged with say "ResetEra" I could have saved precious seconds that could have been applied to doing the work and reading the theory.
5. Maybe make it so you can tag users. Would anyone really desire this? Because if it's something people want I'll look into it more closely.
6. Refuse to add a dice roll feature.
7. Sell more personal data of The Bire users.

Fix the go to latest unread post feature already bitch it’s been years

[Eric Cartman]

vidya and bire OT need 'its one less click' links to each other like The Old Country Fatherland

The "forum jump" dropdown is supposed to serve that purpose.

THAT IS NOT ONE LESS CLICK

Make search default to "Show posts" instead of "Show threads." We're a post heavy, thread light forum.

[Uncle]

I actually feel this way about every single forum anywhere, I'm looking for specific text, not a link to even a 5 page thread I have to click through to find the text I searched for somewhere buried within
